As it turns out, Nikko Japanese Steakhouse in the Florida Panhandle had more problems than just seven customers being poisoned after someone laced their food with narcotics.

On June 9, seven people who had eaten at the Pace, Fla., restaurant ended up in local hospitals, where testing confirmed all seven had ingested a narcotic, according to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office.

Additionally, an attorney for three of the victims said his clients had each tested positive for methamphetamine after eating at the restaurant.

Sheriff’s investigators would ultimately close the investigation, citing a lack of evidence.

But, according to a report in the Pensacola News Journal, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation found additional — and numerous — health violations when its inspectors visited Nikko in the days following the poisoning incident.

According to the report, the first inspection took place the day after the incident, with inspectors finding eight violations, including food being improperly stored, fly tape placed over the cook line and hibachi carts, and employees who lacked proof of health training.

The restaurant was issued a warning, but allowed to remain open, according to the PNJ.

On June 13 — the day after the sheriff’s office confirmed the restaurant customers had ingested a narcotic, inspectors returned again, finding not only many of the same violations still present from their inspection three days earlier, but 23 additional violations.
